    Daniel Day-Lewis ' "best movie" has been rated as one of the greatest of the century and makes a superb choice if you're looking for something to settle down on the couch and get lost in.

    The 2007 flick sees Day-Lewis star as Daniel Plainview, a silver miner who has turned oilman and embarks upon a ruthless quest for wealth during Southern California's oil boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. There Will Be Blood has been ranked as number one in Day-Lewis' top 10 movies and for good reason.

    The movie has scored high with viewers on critic site Rotten Tomatoes after being widely praised as a masterpiece by professional critics, with audiences also rating the film as a must-see. Scoring a huge 91% with critics and 86% with movie buffs the flick is even rated higher in Day-Lewis' body of work than his infamous Irish blockbuster In The Name Of The Father.

    One enthusiastic viewer said: "One of the greatest movie of the century! ABSOLUTELY GREAT! This one is really perfect!"

    A second commented: "Amazing performance by the greatest actor of our time, and let's not forget about the amazing Paul Dano. The best movie PT Anderson has delivered and one of the great films of the 21st century."

    A third praised: "One of the greatest films ever made. It reaches the heights of cinematic humanity & artistry. And the depths of our collective humanity, personal corruption & vulnerability. It’s as near to the perfect human experience captured on film as we have this far."

    A fourth gushed: "There Will Be Blood is a film with a perfect narrative, incredible performances, violence that impressed me a lot, incredible photography, a story that advances with small but very significant steps, since as the story progresses the protagonist evolves in such a way. so that he is falling into madness. A beautiful performance by Lewis. Highly recommended."

    A fifth offered: "Daniel Day-Lewis delivers one powerhouse of a performance as the cold-blooded oil tycoon. Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood is a mesmerizing exploration of ambition and greed, the hypnotic descent into one's corrupted soul, further propelled by the hauntingly atmospheric portrait of America's ruthless pursuit of wealth in the early 20th century."

    There Will Be Blood is available to stream now on Paramount+, Prime Video, Apple TV+ and more.
